Grandes Jorasses from Aiguille du Midi

avatar
@scottkranz
Along the border of France and Italy, The Grandes Jorasses dominates the landscape with its otherworldly-looking peaks — almost as if they're as high as the heavens. The fog creeps over the summit and the harsh winter weather makes for a dramatic scene that captures the essence of the prestigious Mont Blanc massif mountain range.
